Washington, D.C., July 9, 2026 – Israel has reportedly shared new intelligence with the United States suggesting that Iran may be planning another assassination attempt targeting U.S. President Donald Trump, according to multiple international media reports.
The intelligence, reportedly conveyed through diplomatic and security channels, has prompted heightened concern among U.S. officials amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran following recent military confrontations in the Middle East.
According to the reports, Israeli intelligence agencies believe elements linked to Iran could be exploring new plans to target President Trump, although no specific details about the alleged plot or its timeline have been made public.
U.S. security agencies are said to be reviewing the intelligence while maintaining enhanced protective measures around the president. Officials have not publicly confirmed the existence of any imminent threat but acknowledged that all credible intelligence is being taken seriously.
The reports come at a time of growing hostilities between the United States and Iran, with both countries exchanging sharp rhetoric following recent U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets and Tehran’s repeated vows to retaliate.
Iran has consistently denied involvement in plots to assassinate U.S. officials, describing similar allegations in the past as politically motivated. However, American authorities have previously accused Iranian operatives of attempting to target current and former U.S. officials in retaliation for the 2020 killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
Security analysts say any credible intelligence suggesting a renewed assassination threat would likely lead to tighter security protocols for the U.S. president and increased intelligence cooperation between Washington and its allies.
Neither the White House nor Israeli officials have publicly disclosed additional details regarding the reported intelligence, citing national security concerns.
The latest development is expected to further strain already tense relations between the United States and Iran, as diplomatic efforts to ease regional tensions remain uncertain.
